Additional Notes

  • The Honda Civic VII EM/ES/EP/EU/EV automatic transaxle carries an overhaul capacity of 5.9 liters, which reflects the total fluid volume held within the unit when fully drained and refilled during a complete disassembly service.
  • The service fill capacity of 2.7 liters is notably less than half the overhaul figure, indicating that a routine drain-and-fill procedure replaces only a portion of the total fluid volume in the transaxle.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 1.7-liter engine configuration specifies an automatic transmission fluid change interval of 90,000 miles or 60 months, whichever comes first.
  • The initial service interval under normal conditions for the 1.7-liter configuration extends to 120,000 miles or 72 months, making the first scheduled change longer than subsequent ones.
  • Severe use conditions reduce the change interval for the 1.7-liter configuration significantly, down to 30,000 miles or 24 months, compared to the 90,000-mile normal-use interval.
  • The severe initial service interval for the 1.7-liter configuration is expressed in kilometers rather than miles, set at 60,000 km or 36 months, which aligns with Canadian market specifications.
  • The 2.0-liter engine configuration, available from 2001-2005, shares identical capacity figures of 5.9 liters overhaul and 2.7 liters service fill with the 1.7-liter variant.
  • The 2.0-liter configuration mirrors the 1.7-liter change intervals across all four use conditions, including the 120,000-mile or 72-month initial service interval under normal use.
  • The severe use initial service interval for the 2.0-liter configuration is also stated at 60,000 km or 36 months, consistent with the 1.7-liter severe initial service specification.
